Mid-Century Beach Front Bach with beach access 2 doors down and superb views

This is our lovely home by the beach. We have a love of 60's 70's retro furniture and have used this aesthetic to make the space reflect the creative Whanganui community it sits within. The house looks out to panoramic uninterrupted sea views. Beach access is only 2 doors down, so it's easy to pop off for a beach walk or swim when ever you want. We have a beautiful garden courtyard off the kitchen which is a lovely place to sit. The rooms are comfortable & calming helping you feel replenished.

The house is an old bungalow that was bach and has been added to over the years. There is a large lounge filled with vintage treasures that looks out to sea. This room has a tv screen with chromecast and stereo. There is also a fireplace so you can make it really cosy.

This is our family home so please respect the objects within it. We really love art and vintage treasures and would like everyone to enjoy them so please take care.

The dining room is attached to a kitchen with vintage rimu cupboards. The master bedroom is large and has a luscious super king sized bed, this room has a large screen and chromecast in it also so you can relax in bed and watch movies.

The other bedrooms are relatively small but charming. One has a single bed in it with ocean views and the other has a single mezzanine bed in the ceiling, again with ocean views. It is a really cute little room with but you need to be able to climb a large ladder to get to the bed so it's not suitable for small children. Please keep the door to this room shut if you have toddlers!!

There are also 2 mattresses that can be used but I do not provide linen for these, so you will have to bring your own.

There is 1 bathroom with a shower and toilet.

There is a concreted courtyard with a beautiful garden to the left of the house the the kitchen opens out to. There are some comfy outdoor couches on this side with cushions to lounge around in the sun on. In the event of rain it would be appreciated if guests could bring the cushions inside.

There is another cute little sleep out with sea views on the property up by the road. This sleep out has its own entrance and is quite separate from the property. I have a permanent guest living in the sleep out who will respect your privacy. They are both separate and private.

Beautiful outlooks over the trees to the sea, excellent set up, kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of lovely seating both inside and out for relaxing, great eclectic collection of books and artworks. Host was great to communicate with. Would love to visit again. One little suggestion- info for tv use, on departure requests etc would be great.

On Leaving the property after a 3 day stay, All 3 Adults rated it as 8 out of 10. The Location was great,the Batch Feel Fantastic, the view superb, the layout great ( all 3 of us could have our Own Area) to relax, BOTH inside & Out. Air Con coped well with 32C . The Cooking, Fridge washing Machine & Clothes line great. Parking Great , we could turn the car to drive out forwards. The only area that could have made it 10 out of 10 , was sleeping for the 3rd adult. If one of the 3 couches was a fold out bed , that would make it. Will we return - YES, YES

Spacious and private beachside spot
Well-located behind the dunes this comfortable home was surprisingly private with easy access to the beach. Allowing us to stay with our dog was a big plus.

Quirky shabby chic with awesome sea and sunset views
This is an unusual, arty and laid back holiday home with. We stayed for three nights with our teens and enjoyed the retro vibes, sunsets and wide sea views. Amenities are on the basic side and check in was tricky (online instructions had an old lockbox code) but host was responsive to our call for help.
